MOCKINGBIRD TV Series MARVEL’S MOST WANTED Gets Pilot

Marvel Continues Its TV Takeover with Agents of S.H.I.E.L D. Spinoff

The spinoff we all thought was dead is back on at ABC as they’re moving ahead with Marvel’s Most Wanted, a show which is set to revolve around Adrianne Palicki‘s (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird.

We first heard about plans for an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff focusing on Adrianne Palicki’s Mockingbird earlier this year, and while it was put on hold shortly after, ABC are now moving ahead with the series. Titled Marvel’s Most Wanted, the show – which the network are currently closing in on a deal to order a pilot for – will revolve around Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood).

Jeff Bell and Paul Zbyszewski co-created the project for Marvel and are co-writing the pilot. They will also serve as showrunners. Plot details are scarce, but Variety reveals that

“the series is not a spinoff, per se, but rather an entirely new project solely focused on the two characters to continue their story.”

This is an intriguing concept, and if anyone from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. deserves a spinoff, it’s Mockingbird. She’s got a lot of material to draw from and it will be interesting to get more of her backstory in the new TV show.
